Next Friday, we are opening an exhibition by Dnipro-based artists

We invite you to the opening of the exhibition project Pharmacy of the Heavens — a collaborative work by Dnipro-based artists, painter Volodymyr Gabuda and sound artist Oleksandr Suprun. The opening will take place on June 5 at 6:30 PM. Combining painting, poetry, and a spatial audio installation, the exhibition will run until August 8, 2026.

Pharmacy of the Heavens continues a long-term artistic project that Volodymyr Gabuda has been developing over the past several years. This new cycle emerges as the next chapter following the exhibition Mutations, presented in 2025 at the Dnipro Art Museum. As the artist notes, the project evolves gradually — through separate fragments, like a book written in process. While Mutations focused on trauma as a protective reaction and on unconscious mechanisms of resistance, Pharmacy of the Heavens turns to a condition in which the traumatic transformations of reality have already become part of everyday life, requiring conscious “healing” actions.
